Rage Racer PC renderer progress

Rage Racer PC is getting some graphical upgrades.

Some of them are already available in newly released version 0.4-alpha, available for Linux, macOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows.

You can download it here (requires the original game, PAL preferred, but should work with NTSC, cue + bin format): https://github.com/khasinski/rage-racer-pc/releases/tag/0.4-alpha

Press F10 in-game to switch between a classic PS1 and a modern configurable renderer.

Rage Racer on PC now has a high res, high FPS renderer

This isn't emulation or static recompilation, this version is built from the decompiled source code. While it's still an early alpha you can download and test it here: https://github.com/khasinski/rage-racer-pc/releases (macOS, Linux, Windows). It requires a PAL copy of Rage Racer in bin/cue format.

Expect bugs and broken things!

Disclaimer: AI helped at both decompilation and porting efforts but I'm a software engineer and I write/reverse code manually for this as well :)

Rage Racer decompilation is 100% complete

Every function is named and mapped, most of the globals/variables are also identified. This will speed up the PC port development considerably, I already have a playable version for macOS (which should also be trivial to port to Linux).

There is an asset browser if you'd like to see what's in there: https://github.com/khasinski/rage-racer-decomp/tree/main/tools/assetbrowser (it's not very friendly, but it should do the trick).

Parasite Eve for PC - WIP

Hello, I'm a software developer working on decompiling and subsequently port Parasite Eve to PC. I have a WIP version which can boot the game, go through FMVs and play some of the game (it hangs on first battle though and the menus aren't working).

Here are some YT videos from last week (I've fixed most of visible glitches in those, but it's still pretty early).

Rage Racer PC - rendering 3d cars and tracks

Hello :) I'm the dev who works on porting Rage Racer to PC. I've managed to get some of the 3d models (cars and tracks) running. It's mostly attract mode and Grand Prix Intro, but it's decent progress since last week.

Upload any image as Art to TheFrame from a Mac

Hello, I've made a small free and opensource macOS app that allows you to wirelessly upload any image to TheFrame. It can also generate them from prompts if given an OpenAI API key.

Code is here: https://github.com/khasinski/ReFrame

Download: https://github.com/khasinski/ReFrame/releases/tag/v0.1.0

It can find TheFrame on a local network, but uploading needs accepting the upload using TV's remote

Rage Racer - fan made PC port

Hey, I'm working on a PC port of Rage Racer. I've already de-compiled enough of the game to understand most of the concepts and I'm using some recent developments in PS1 game porting tooling to make a PC port.

Here is some footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGvq_z04zmo

FMV and most assets load fine except for 3d models geometry hence the broken backgrounds in the intro.

It's currently a 32bit Linux executable and works using SDL2, but should be fairly trivial to port to a lot of things once I have it complete enough. Switching to 64bit systems might be a challenge, but it's still doable.

This DOES NOT use any emulation or any proprietary code. You still need the original game to play it (because of assets), I do not promote piracy.
